  • Review: Edge Desk is the collapsable, work-from-home desk you're looking for

    I was thinking this might be useful in a student’s dorm room.

  • How Apple learned automation can't match human skill

    seanismorrisseanismorris
    If you can build a robot to recycle an iPhone, you can create a robot to build one.

    The question is it cost effective or the most efficient solution?  The answer today is no, but it’s only a matter of time before the answer is yes.

    We see this everywhere.  You start with a pipe dream, you build a prototype, everyone gets overly excited, then reality brings things back to earth.  But, eventually some stubborn SOB gets it to work...

    We’re seeing the same thing in AR/VR.  Right now, most pocket books are empty and most are abandoning the idea as to hard.  But, is there any doubt it’s coming?

    Robots replacing skilled labor is also coming.  It might take another decade, but there’s no doubt in my mind it’s going to change the world.

    ....
    In the last 20 years, there’s been incredible progress in robotics.

  • Rumor: New iPad Air to adopt USB-C, iPad mini to retain Lightning

    Why ? Make it all USB-C until no port wireless becomes norm. End of story.
    I’m not a fan of the current wireless charging mats for anything but charging accessories.  iPads and iPhones need to be able to used normally while they’re being charged.

  • Apple's iOS 14 again rumored to support all devices compatible with iOS 13

    The move to 64bit was huge for Apple, and consumers continue to reap the benefits.  Device memory is (now) likely going to be the killer for old phones.

    The iPhone 6s, SE, 7 all have 2GB of RAM.  We’re probably going to lose all of them at the same time.  The iPhone 7 was still being sold last year, so my guess is those models will be supported into 2022.

    The iPhone 6s was released in September 2015.  Obsolete in September 2022?  That would be impressive!

    The EU can’t bitch about device life if that’s the case...
    So does the iPhone 8
    You’re correct... I was thinking of the Plus model that has 3GB.

    It’ll be curious to see what they do with that.  Apple is kind of stuck, by sticking only 2GB in the iPhone 8.  They kind of have to continue support for the older phones because they don’t have a built in excuse to discontinue support.

    The new iPhone SE has 3GB.  Apple really deemphasizes the amount of RAM... it’s not even listed on Apple’s webpage.  It’s pretty important though.  The new iPhones have 4GB so obviously they saw a need to give it a boost.

    I wonder if we’re going to see features not supported in the 8 and earlier, but they still get the new iOS.  I can’t think of anything that would be lost that I’d care about.  Anyone care about ()?
